How my lessons work

Every lesson starts from what you need to do in French, so what you practise is useful the same week.

From a free first call to regular lessons

  1. A free first conversation

    30 minutes by video. I ask about your goals, your level and how you like to learn. We can speak in English or in French, and you see how I teach.

  2. A simple plan

    We agree what to work on, how often to meet and which situations matter most to you.

  3. Weekly lessons

    60 minutes, one to one, built around your real life: your emails, your lease, your appointments.

  4. Adjusting as you go

    If a topic goes well we move on. If something is hard we stay on it.

All levels, your own material

I teach complete beginners as well as advanced speakers. You bring emails, forms or notes from your own life, and we work with them. In every lesson we also cover the Swiss words you will hear around you, so you understand both standard and local French.

Read Swiss French explained for a first look, or the questions people ask about levels, schedule and payment.

For teams and organisations

Embassies, missions and international organisations can arrange lessons for staff and their families. See the page for organisations.
